Tag Archives: Senseless Tragedy

An email acquaintance of mine of the left leaning persuasion emailed me a question as to my thoughts on the recent attacks on Paris. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t asking for a news report but impressions. My first impression was, “here we go again.” Another terrorist attack that in the aftermath we’ll try to find a way to excuse; by denying what it really is. For example:

My heart is filled with sadness for our French brothers and sisters. I am praying for Paris and for the victims of this senseless tragedy.

Liberals consider Klein an intellectual so I assume that most of them nodded at his prepubescent wisdom, but to me, what does he think the new ISIS expeditionary force is? At least one of the suspects was a refugee. No doubt there will be more of that in the future.

President Obama sounded no less dumb than his acolyte. “This is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values we share.” No Mr. President, it’s not an attack on all humanity; just the infidel part. And we don’t have any universal values to share. We have Western Judeo-Christian values, and then there is everyone else, who has totally different values.

If anyone had the right to be self righteous, it was French President Francois Hollande and appropriately enough, he said all the right things: “[France] will be merciless towards the barbarians of the Islamic State group.” Although I’ve no doubt the French military will find a few targets they can bomb, does anyone really think they are actually declaring war on the Islamic State? That’s like him saying Je suis Charle. He was no more Charlie than the Iranian Supreme Leader. If you don’t believe me, ask Marine Le Pen, who is on trial for comparing Muslims to the Nazi Occupation. After the recent attacks in Paris, I would call that a reasonable comparison.

So does this change anything in Europe? My sense is that it won’t. It’s too late for that. After the Charle Hebdo massacre, there was outrage, world leaders marched together (except ours for obvious reasons), and then the world returned to, as columnist Mark Steyn describes as, “no Islam to see here.” I suspect this will have no effect on slowing down the tidal wave of refugees into Europe. After all, ISIS has to replenish the ranks of its expeditionary force.
